10. The Yale Lie
“I got into Yale, but decided to go elsewhere.” We all know these people. If they were telling the truth, you would think that Yale was like the easiest school to get into.
9. The SAT Lie
“I got a 1600 (or insert other SAT score here) on my SAT.” These folks are almost as worse as the people in the prior group. Again, we know the test is curved, so this is impossible. Plus nobody really cares what you got on the SAT.
8. The Checkers Lie
“My Yahoo! Online game checkers rating is 1550.” This is even worse than the previous lie, because as little as I care about your SAT score, I care even less about your checkers rating.
7. The Never Have I Ever Lie
“Never have I ever…” That game is like the anti-lie detector test.
6. The UHC Lie
Anything related to the multiple tiers of the honors college. We all know firsthand about this lie. While believed to be false, the real truth is still out there.
5. The Skulls Lie
“There is this secret society…called The Skulls.” I saw the movie, it sucked, plus there is no way a secret organization could have existed with Bush as a member.
4. The Harvard Lie
“I got into Harvard, but I decided to go elsewhere.” See number 10.
3. The MJ Lie
“My uncle is Michael Jordan.” I heard this once…from a white kid.
2. The Pre-Med Lie
Student A: “What are you majoring in?” Students B-Z: “Pre-med.” Ahh, the days of being a freshmen. When you thought college would be like one of those College movies and you were going to be a pre-med student.
1. The Death of a Roommate Lie
“If your roommate dies, then you get a 4.0 QPA for the semester.” I saw this movie too, and it sucked. But at least it had Zach Morris in it.

I like #2. Also, I know several people who have gotten a 1600 on the SAT. Just because it is curved does not mean someone can't do the best.
Ugh, the UHC lie. Trying to describe the UHC is a horrible experience.
incoming freshman: What is the honors college?
me: Well, you don't have to take honors classes or live in honors housing to be in the honors college. It includes everyone with a gpa above 3.25, except you don't really need that to remain in honors housing, take honors classes, or participate in honors activities. So to answer your question, no.
